This is facsinating. But even Cornell West speaks in a very Afrosentric tone and speech pattern. It is just that Cornel West or Ron Karenga speak in ways that are very Afronsentric as well as being very educated. I would not call that "speaking Black," even thought I do not know what that is, but I do tend to speak in meanings that are not easily indentified if you are not used to being around folks that look me.
